Emuva ngenkathi uNintendo enqoba igumbi lokuhlala okokuqala ne-NES, enye yezingxenye ezibalulekile zaleyo mpumelelo kwakuwuphawu - into eyayiphethwe I-GIRVIN Design, eholwa nguTim Girvin.
Ifemu yasebenza neNintendo ukuze idale 'ukubukeka' komkhiqizo we-NES, kusukela ekwakhiweni kokupakisha kuya ohlotsheni lwefonti esetshenziswa ekheseni nasemabhokisini. U-Girvin usebenzisane nenkampani yaseJapane ku-Game Boy, i-SNES ngisho ne-Virtual Boy, eshiya ifa elikhulu - ifa elihlanganisa nesithonjana. Igoli likaZelda ukupakishwa ngekalishi lakhona legolide kanye nomklamo webhokisi elisikiwe.
I-Zelda yasekuqaleni ibisematheni muva nje ngenxa yokuthi ikhophi evaliwe ne-mint ithengiswe ukuchelela amehlo. $870,000 endalini. Izinganekwane ezivela Eqoqweni wathintana no-Girvin futhi wambuza ukuthi kungani ecabanga ukuthi umdlalo usufinyelele kule ntengo emangalisayo:
Ngokucabanga kwami, umbono wekhatriji lomdlalo wevidiyo othengiswa ngenani elimangazayo umayelana nefa—kanye nolwazi. Abantu banezinkumbulo ezijulile zalokho abahlangabezane nakho njengabadlali—futhi uZelda, ngendlela yakhe, ukuhlola ubukhulu benganekwane. Lelo ifa elijulile ngaphakathi kokwazi okubanzi kwesintu—uhambo, izimbangi ezinkulu, ukubuyela ezweni lendabuko, ukuhamba kwezinye izindawo zokuhlangenwe nakho.
Ngendlela, njengoba uJoseph Campbell, isazi sezinganekwane esikhulu sisho “...zibeke ohlotsheni lwethrekhi ebilokhu ikhona sonke isikhathi, ikulindele, futhi impilo okufanele uyiphile yile oyiphilayo. Landela injabulo yakho futhi ungesabi, futhi iminyango izovuleka lapho obungazi ukuthi bayoba khona."
Phuma lapho, adventure, thola iphupho, wembula umcebo bese ubuyela eziko okwenzile. Imidlalo—noma yimiphi imidlalo, ngendlela engokomfanekiso idlalela iphupho lenye indawo, umnyango ohlukile oya ezweni elisanda kutholwa nelihlolekayo—elingase libe nengcuphe, futhi libe nomcebo—inani elithile elingabuyiselwa emuva, ngisho nakuleli phupho. , kwenye nendawo yomuntu siqu ngokwengeziwe esiyichaza njengendawo yethu ephephile—ikhaya.
Yimpendulo ejulile, futhi asinaso isiqiniseko sayo ngempela ichaza ukuthi kungani igeyimu evamile kangaka ithengiswe ngenani eliphezulu kangaka lapho amakhophi etholakala kalula ngamanani aphansi (futhi ayatholakala nangedijithali), kodwa u-Girvin angase afunde okuthile lapha. Uma i-Zelda ingumdlalo owuthandayo ngaso sonke isikhathi futhi kungenzeka ube ne-spare $870,000 elele ongayidingi, kuyacaca ukuthi izikhwepha uzizwe sengathi uphonsa yonke leyo mali ekhophi engcono kakhulu yomdlalo ongayithola. Asisho ukuthi sizokwenza mathupha, kodwa singabona (kinda) inqubo yokucabanga. Kinda.
U-Girvin ube eseveza ukuthi angase abe namakhophi ambalwa omdlalo olele endlini:
I-TFTC: Akwenzeki ukuthi ube nebhokisi lalaba abalele ndawana thize?
U-Girvin: Yebo, nginazo ezinye zalezi ezilele ngapha nangapha—zonke zigciniwe.
I-TFTC: Ingabe uke wacabanga ngokuthengisa enye yayo Ezindalini Zamagugu esikhathini esizayo?
U-Girvin: Yebo, bekungeke yini kube okuthile lokho?
Manje, ucabanga ukuthi ingakanani ikhophi evaliwe ye-Zelda esayinwe yindoda engemuva kwebhokisi elidumile elisikiwe elingalanda endalini? Izimpendulo ekhadini leposi (noma kumazwana angezansi, kuhle).
